How Seth Learned to Solo (part One: Blues)

In response to many questions and much interest (most of which, unfortunately, could not be answered via email, the medium of prayer, or hyper-dexic alectosis), Seth gives you the run down on what made him the musical abomination that he is. This vid will probably be of use to no one (and of interest to even fewer people), however, it is a pretty candid and accurate account of what happened to him (being me, in the 3rd person). HTH.

Part 2 is here:

have long have you been playing? is it too late to learn to tear it up that hard on the piano?

thanks for posting this :D

Thanks, man. I started out using a mic that fit over my head, because I struggle to play. I started way too late in life -- in my 50's -- and I have to look at the keys. That's the mic in "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" and "King Bee." That mic looked really dorky after I shaved my beard, so I went with a boom mic on later vids like "Louisiana 1927."

Wish I could play a tenth as good as you. Maybe in my next life. Keep the vids coming. I like them all.

Rock on, man; I hope that it's not too late for some of the peeps who originally asked for it.

Oh, and by the way... saw your recording loooong before you responded to mine... liked it, but thought you might use a different mic setup. Unfortunately, I don't know much about those things anymore, so didn't comment at the time. Regardless, CHEERS!
